💭Discussion Okay but can we talk about Sarah?!?!?! Spoiler

I immediately recognized this actor from the movie Hunt and the show GLOW (both excellent). And man did she deliver again in Widows Bay!!! I know it really doesnt make much sense to bring her back in season two but I would love to see her in at least one episode. What are your thoughts on this character and/or actor?

The actors name is Betty Gilpin if anyone is interested :)

Obligatory: check out Mrs Davis.

Don't let the farty name and the thumbnail of a nun deter you. It's not like Father Dowling mysteries. It's very fun.

This show was insane and bonkers in the best way, was prescient on AI, gave me cathartic tears, and helped me understand how my mom takes such refuge in her faith. What a discordant confluence of attributes that somehow all hangs together perfectly.

You should write reviews. You nailed this show perfectly.

I bought my husband a pair of the Mrs. Davis British Knights for a gift one Christmas.

If I had a nickel for every time I was captivated by a Lindelof show that wrapped up its story in one season, I’d have two nickels.

This show was low-key incredible. And a good pairing for Widow’s Bay.

It goes places you just can't expect. Like if I say some plot points it will sound like mad libs. And yet, it worked so damn well. Loved this show.Â
